<p>This status page currently shows the status of CAmkES features and supplied components.
The feature list currently only tracks features of the CAmkES Architecture Description Language.
Other CAmkES features that are currently not tracked here include: Plugins, Templating engine,
CAmkES component runtime environments,  Procedure IDL interfaces, CDL refine verification, Tooling
and VisualCamkes.</p>

<p>Features of the CAmkES ADL are listed below.  Features that are more experimental
may not be compatible with the CDL-refinement CAmkES tooling. The Status field for
each feature aims to indicate any known compatiblility issues related to a feature.</p>
